Named Avá-Tapé, the young man is training with his father to become a paí, a solitary individual living on the threshold between humans and the divine [could be called a 'shaman"]. He is, however, drawn into the protection of a Jesuit mission amid slave raids, epidemic disease, and the systematic destruction of his culture and home.

Performed through a collaboration with Agent Red and Cheslea Laumen of the aerial arts troupe Sky Candy from Austin, Texas, the show included almost 50 artists, dancers, contortionists, performers, singers, musicians, and actors with a focus on shamanism and the wild of the tropical forest.
